In August 2016, I put together my first monthly playlist on Spotify. Little did I know, it would spark a lifelong habit.
Fast forward to today, and that single spark has grown into an unbroken streak: every single month for the past decade, I have curated and published a brand-new playlist. Now, all 120 of these playlists are live on Spotify and easy to access right here via the My Playlists page.
What’s Inside the Archives?
Spanning a full 10 years, these collections feature the tracks that have soundtracked my life, captured my attention, and stayed on heavy rotation through the years. To say the curation is varied would be an understatement. You will find a wide spectrum of sounds, eras, and genres colliding across the timeline.
However, every single track featured across these 120 playlists shares one undeniable trait: they are fantastic.
As the old saying goes, there are really only two kinds of music in this world—the bad kind and the good kind. Every single song housed in my archives firmly belongs in the latter category.
Dive into the Vault
If you happen to have a spare hundred million hours lying around, I invite you to take a deep dive. Start at the very beginning—track down that foundational playlist from August 2016—and listen your way through the entire journey.
I guarantee you’ll stumble upon a few aha! moments and hidden gems along the way.
Head over to My Playlists to find the links, grab your headphones, and let the retrospective begin!
